Why have an experience-filled wedding?
Have you noticed that weddings are not what they used to be? Traditionally, a wedding reception was a bit monotonous, with the same dinner, music, and drinks. But nowadays couples are thinking more about memorably celebrating their union, with fun activities for the guests.
When we say an “experience-filled” wedding, we are talking about a wedding with different entertainment options for guests to enjoy. It is about your guests experiencing actively instead of just attending.
Depending on the bride and groom’s personality, and the style you are pursuing for your big day, you can incorporate different experiences, from live performance to a casino or tarot table. Possibilities are countless, and if you choose the right one, your wedding will be forever treasured in the memories of your loved ones.
A unique experience that is growing in popularity is treating your guests with a cigar bar. It is a concept that goes perfectly with a classic wedding and even a modern bohemian theme. But how exactly a cigar bar would be a unique experience? You might ask.
Well, a cigar bar is a full experience that will entertain all your guests, even if they are non-tobacco smokers. They will get to know the history and the craft behind every cigar. The tools and the technique required to make a luxurious and unique product.
To top your nontraditional wedding experience, you can pair the cigar bar with a personalized drink that enhances the cigar’s flavor. It is highly recommendable to assign a special and secluded space for this setup. It will be a perfect opportunity for the bride and groom and the guests to relax from the party and enjoy the moment.
The biggest perk of hiring a cigar bar is that an experienced tobacconist will guide you thru the experience. You and your guests will get to know the art of cigar making and even take one home with a custom band and an individual bag. Service includes a beautiful display, cutters, lighters, and many years of experience from the dedicated staff.
Adding a special experience to your wedding is the best way to surprise your guest and thank them for the love and support they give to you each day. Your guests will be positively amazed by the thoughtful experience you prepared for them.
